Are there aspects of your life where you feel stuck or have difficulty coping? Do you wish for closer connection in relationships? Are events from the past holding you back from leading a fulfilled life? My clients are adults including professionals, parents, seniors or students who grapple with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, grief and parenting. Taking that first step to seek counselling can be difficult and, from my own experience, finding a counsellor who is right for you may feel daunting and take time. I commend you for starting your search.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

I come to this profession by way of lived experience, having spent decades in deep emotional pain, always feeling I was never “enough.” Consistently engaging in counselling, as well as tools and psycho-education for trauma resolution, has led me to find safety in body I had once disowned. I now have a sense of worthiness and peace that I never imagined possible. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship issues, or symptoms of trauma, we will co-create a compassionate container for exploration and healing.
